Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This spring, the Museum is proud to partner with the Portland Opera and the David Hockney Foundation to present David Hockney: A Rake\u2019s Progress<\/em>. Hockney, one of the most significant artists of our generation, has long engaged with the paintings and engravings of 18th-century English artist William Hogarth. Hockney was particularly captivated by Hogarth\u2019s series The Rake\u2019s Progress<\/em>, 1733, which chronicles the rise and fall of Tom Rakewell, the son and heir of a rich merchant, who squanders his money on luxurious living, prostitution, and gambling. After a trip to New York, Hockney produced his own interpretation of the story. Hockney\u2019s A Rake\u2019s Progress<\/em> was published as a portfolio of 16 etchings in 1963 and is considered one of the high points of his early career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1975, Hockney collaborated with director John Cox to create a new production of Igor Stravinsky\u2019s opera based on Hogarth\u2019s The Rake\u2019s Progress<\/em>. Hockney drew inspiration from the 18th-century master\u2019s engravings, endowing the set designs and costumes with a linearity that speaks not only to the language of prints, but also to the modern angularity of Stravinsky\u2019s score. The result is both playful and rigorous, a perfect blend of the aural and visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is an exciting look into Hockney\u2019s creative process. It will feature etchings, drawings, models, and watercolors that depict the 1975 opera\u2019s set design from initial idea to final concept, offering a rare glimpse into working methods of one of England\u2019s finest living artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition of this work is complemented by the Portland Opera\u2019s production of The Rake\u2019s Progress<\/em><\/a> on June 11, 12, and 14, 2015, featuring Hockney\u2019s celebrated scenic and costume designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Graphic Arts, in cooperation with the David Hockney Foundation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is supported in part by The Boeing Company, Mary Chomenko Hinckley and Greg Hinckley, and the Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Endowment for Graphic Arts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
